Designed by Luxembourg firm Metaform Architects, POST Luxembourg – the country's largest provider of postal and telecommunications services – gets a new headquarters that is versatile and employee-focused, and equipped with eco-friendly, sustainable features such as a rainwater recycling system that’s used for heating, sanitary functions and horticulture, automated lighting management, and air conditioning via active tiles.
Located in Luxembourg’s Gare district, POST Luxembourg’s new building is constructed on its existing site, which incorporates the adjoining eight-storey heritage-listed building, Accinauto, into the new design.
“The new 29,825-sqm, POST Headquarters includes workspaces for about 850 employees, as well as POST Luxembourg’s flagship store, both of which reflect the company’s values. The client summed up the design requirements in three keywords: well-being, user-friendliness, and networking. Our goal, therefore, was to create a pleasant working atmosphere and excellent interior organisation while maintaining space for possible future changes,” says GG Kirchner, one of the firm’s founding partners who worked closely with lead design architect Shahram Agaajani on the project.
a site-sensitive design
POST Luxembourg sits in a dense urban environment within an urban block featuring different building typologies. The new volume occupies a trapezoidal shape on the site, leaving room for an interior courtyard, which is filled with lush vegetation and relaxing spaces for POST employees.
